Ulysse Nardin launches El Toro perpetual calendar

Ulysse Nardin has launched a new perpetual calendar for 2012, having launched its first calendar timepiece back in 1996, featuring a single crown that allowed all backwards and forwards adjustments.

The new watch – the El Toro – is said to feature groundbreaking technologies and is equipped with the brand’s manufacture movement featuring an exclusive quick-setting timezone system.

The hour hand can be adjusted instantly using plus or minus pushers, while the oversized date – which features the day, month and year – can also be synchronised by the movement of the hour hand.
